Avon Lake Back to School

The Avon Lake City Schools welcomed nearly 3,900 students back to class last month. High school and Troy Intermediate School students returned to class on the scheduled first day of school Aug. 24. School officials made the decision to move the start date back two days for the district’s elementary and Learwood Middle School students due to the hot weather temperatures that week and no air conditioning in the buildings. The first day of school for kindergarten students in Avon Lake was Aug. 30. The first day for LEAPS preschool students in Avon Lake was Aug. 31.
